Let me quote the swords of one who speaks with all the authority of a great name, Miss Florence Nightingale : " It is all nonsense, what some old nurses say, that you can't give a baby fresh air without giv- ing it a chill ; and on the other hand, you may give a baby a chill which will kill it, (by letting a draught£blow upon it when it- is being washed, for instance, and chilling its whole body, though only for a moment) without giving it fresh airlat all, And de- pend upon this, the less fresh air yon give to its lungs, and the less water you give to its skin, so much the more liable it will be to cold and chill." Let me here strongly protest against the foolish fashion of half smothering a sleep- ing baby, covering its head and mouth, at the risk of stifling it outright. Cots and beds in the nursery should be incurtaiired, or nearly so. We might al- most as well lay the child to sleep on the shelf of a clothespress, or at the bottom of a packing case, as in a eot closely curtained round. An authentic story is told of a well constituted child passing within a few minutes from a condition of spasmodic irri- tation, bordering on convulsions, into perfect health, owing simply to the admis- sion of fresh air into a close, ill -ventilated nursery. A thermometer should be kept in the room, and should not rise- above 70 0 F., overheating being as unwholesome as the reverse. Nervous irritation is a prominent char- acteristic of infancy, and pure air will be found to act as one of the most powerful nervous sedatives upon the tender system of a child. -Whatever, therefore, affects the purity of the atmosphere should be quickly removed ; proper places provided for dirty linen, etc.' The air of bedrooms should be' perfectly fresh ; especially should w be.' ware of " tired air" creeping in front -the day nursery, just before the children's bed. time; chimneys should be kept open, bed- clothes turned back and exposed to the air OA soon as the child is up. A room fifteen feet square aed nine feet high, affords ample initial cubic space for a nurse and two children. With good -and careful management, a nurse, , •• i nfent, and two other children, have ocee,,.ed a bed- room of this size a ithout detriment to health. No useless articles of furniture or drapery were allowed isntrauce ; both a dressing room and a bathroom were close at hand ; care was taken to keep the air of the room pure ; no open vessels were allowed to remain ; the door, never quite closed, ad- mitted light and air from the passage ; the two windows were partly open on summer nigbts, and the fire was always lighted be- fore bedtime in the winter. Children from seven to nine or ten years of age may have separate bedrooms, but after that age a separate dormitory for each is requisite. A space fourteen or fifteen feet by eight or nine feet wide, permits of a bed four feet wide to be placed betweenthe door and the wall, and a fireplace in the opposite wall to be beyond the foot of the bed. No double - bedded room should be less than fifteen feet square, and no bedroom should be with- out a fireplace. The room door may be left partly open, and there will mostly be an open door either from the dressing -room or the nurse's room. The doors must be so hung that when part- ly open they will -shield the bed rather than direct the current of air into it. The windows in the summer' can be left a little open at the top. They should be provided with shutters, both;to keep off the draught and to shut out some of`the light when this may be necessary. They aid materially in lessening the chill that in cold weather always strikes in from the windows. A stout linen or jute fabric makes a good protective window -curtain for the winter. All woolen hangings are objectionable in a bedroom, as they really absorb moisture, and all organic particles suspended in it or floating in the air. The ceiling of the room should be such as to bear rubbing over ; it is better of a gray or cream color than white, so as not to re- flect too much light on the upward gaze of the children. The walls of the bedroom are better painted in some even tone of quiet color. If the wall is papered, it should be varnished over, and the paper must have no bright -colored, intricate pattern -spots, and no vivid green likely to contain arsenic. The floors must not be car- peted all over certainly not under the bed, and" it -is better to have the boards stained and left bare round sides of the room. The top edge of the skirtiog board should be rounded off in all rooms for children. Iron bedframes should have round edges. Slips of soft carpet by ttre sides of the bed, and from the door to the fireplace, if not all over the centre of the room, are sufficient.—[Mrs. Wm. E. 'Gladstone' the first case, to confine the heat : long- enough to stimulate the leucocytes to ea tivity, as in that event wee should .only -have made a bad matter worse, With an ,-abscess to take care of. The desired result may be obtained by simply plunging the finger into water as hot as can be borne for a short time, or by rubbing on a stimulating liniment. The moral of all this is that we are to use poultices only where we wishto Localize inflammation. In sprains and the like,, proper stimulation is all that is required. A New Onre For Appendicitis, _ - Of late years a fearful dread has gone abroad that every one who eats fruits with small seeds in them is pretty sure to run the risk of dying a fearful death by appen- dicitis, or be forced to- undergo adangerous operation. So strong has this dread taken hold of the public mind that thousands re- fuse to eat small fruits when seeds have to be eaten with them. Grapes are always pitted by them, and blackberries, and even raspberries, with their small insidious seeds, are taken entirely from their bill of fare. The fact is that appendicitis occurs very rarely, and the percentage of people who eat fruit with seeds in them that are caught is insignificantly small. When the com- plaint does seize one it is not necessary to resort to an operation except in severe cases, nor is it absolutely necessary to die. The latest, and most successful, cure is to administer internally from one to two ounces of sweet oil every three hours until the pain and fever are relieved. The seed which causes the trouble irritates the muscular tissue so that congestion follows, and •this` may soon cause inflammation ofavery serious character. Sweet oil administered in time and faithfully, allays the inflammatory con- dition, reduces temperament and relaxes the tension of the muscular coating of the intestines and 'appendix. Besides this it takes seed, or all foreign substances with it, and et"'ets a complete cure. The patient should be kept in bed and poultices should be applied very hot over the seat of pain. Eating Before Sleeping. The idea that eating just before retiring is conducive to. good sleep is a great mis- take. istake. One cannot digest food and sleep well at the same time. He should go to bed with an empty stomach. If your stomach " gnaws so that you cannot sleep," it is be- cause your stomach is in such a weakened state that the grinding of the walls together produces irritation. You should give it a chance to rest, and not keep loading it up every time it tells you it is tired out. The practice of eating just before retiring is almost a certain means of producing, bad dreams, and sometimes nightmare in adults, or " terrors " in children.

No sort of food is better for the complex- ion than oatmeal and oranges. The finest complexions in the world are those of the Italian and Spanish ladies, who live largely on coarse-grained food and fruit, like the orange or banana. It is said that the fact is becoming appreciated, and that some ladies, to acquire and preserve a good com- plexion are living almost entirely on oran- ges. Half a dozen for breakfast, a dozen for lunch, with a crust of bread, a glass of milk, and a saucer of oatmeal, will bring a complexion of peach and ivory which will drive almost any belle out of: her head with envy. The Use of Poultices Physicians are often surprised at the ig- norance of patients concerning the use of poultices. The trouble arises from a wrong idea as to the curative action of a poul- tice. In general, poultices are primarily locali- zers of inflammation ; they act by softeriing and stimulating the tissues with which they are brought directly in contact. The fact that their value lies in the amount of beat and moisture which they radiate to these tissues is the reason, probably, for their application by the laity in every case where heat and moisture may happen to be iodinated as necessary. Take, for example, two cases—a poison- ed wound and a finger swollen by muscular strain. It is manifest that these two cases are not parallel, though in both the applica- tion of heat is indicated as a remedy. - In the\ case of the poisoned wound, we have the presence of a foreign substance in, the tissues. This sets tip a local inflamma- tion, which by means of the circulation tends to spread and become general. We piece a:poultice over the affected part, and immediately the application of the heat brings to it a fresh supply of blood contain- ing numerousleucoeyese _whiteearpascles, whose business it is to stake war upon all foreign matter with which they may come in contact, "and pus is formed. This finds a proper meanie escape through the Soften- ed tissues under the poultice, and with -it comes the poison. In the case of the swollen finger, . on ' the other hand, we iia►ve a impie irritation, and what Weneecl_iii,thetWiatt.weof treatment' is just 9110u` o t aw a rene�'eel sup_ kene b for rte .dot h, s is Patent medicines differ—One has reason- ableness, another has not. One hasreputa- tion—another has not. One has confidence, born of success—another has only "hopes." Do n't take it for granted that all patent medicines are alike. They are not. Let the years of uninterrupted success and the tens of thousands of cured and happy men and women, place Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre- scription on the side of the comparison to which they belong. And there isn't a state or territory, no—nor hardly a country in the world, whether its people realize it or not, but have men and women in them that're happier because of their discovery and their effects. Think of this in health. Think of it in sickness. And then think whether you can afford to make the trial if the makers can afford to take the risk to give your money back, as they do, if they do not benefit or cure you.

Here is an incident fro'in the South Mississippi, written in April,1890, just after the Grippe had visited that, country. " I am a farmer, one of those who have to rise early and work late. At the beginning of last Winter I was on a trip to the City of Vicksburg, Miss. ,where I got well drenched in a shower of rain. 7 went home and was soon afterseized with a dry, hacking cough. This grew worse every day, until I had to seek relief. I consulted Dr. Dixon who has since died, and he told me to get a bottle of Boschee's German Syrup. Meantime my cough grew worse and worse and then the Grippe came along and I caught that also very severely. My condition then compelled me to do something. I got two bottles of German Syrup. I began using them, and before taking much of the second bottle, I was entirely clear of the Cough that had hung to me so long, the Grippe, and all its bad effects. I felt tip-top and have felt that way ever since." PVr 1 R J. BRIAIS, Jr., Cayuga, Hines Miss. • 9f nU. U JJ forsa1 by OF LAND for sale by the SAINT PAUL & DULUTH RAILROAD COMPANY in alinnesota.
